[> ITA. I tried NCIS a few times, but I didn't connect with the characters the way I did with JAG. To me, that was the fascination of the show--the characters and their interactions.lk -- Deemus, 19:39:08 07/06/15 Mon

[> [> Considering DPB said he would NEVER AGAIN write a show with equal male & female leads (leading to shipper pressure from fans), that is probably why a lot of JAG fans "don't connect" with NCIS. Personally, I don't watch it because I have OTHER standing complaints against DPB that have caused me to swear off ANY and ALL DPB shows after JAG. Harm was my last, best leading man, and always will be. -- The Chief, 14:33:04 07/07/15 Tue

[> I have enjoy watching NCIS but not as much as JAG. -- usmgrad, 21:14:22 07/06/15 Mon

[> I honestly like NCIS because I like MH. It's not the same love I had for JAG because that really was a true love of characters. -- jenks, 08:35:13 07/07/15 Tue

[> [> I agree jenks,Tony still sets my teeth on edge but he's mellowed out a bit in recent years and there are other characters that have rejuvinated the show. I like Ellie Bishop and I loved the episodes with Gibbs father, Jackson. Crusty old Mike Franks. I will never feel about a show like I did about JAG. It was a Navy show and those are my people and were my life for 20 years. -- mkim, 18:30:36 07/07/15 Tue

[> I actually started with NCIS and then NCIS LA. Then I discovered JAG, and NCIS just isn't the same for me. Granted I also miss Ziva, but JAG's characters are on a different level. I also see now how many stories seem to be JAG rewrites. -- Alicia, 19:03:17 07/07/15 Tue

[> No NCIS for me -- it tries too hard. That is, either everyone and everything is 'too slick' or too 'cutesy'. It's gagworthy. JAG was forthright and complicated, at the same time and just seemed to flow so natural and seemed so much more real, even though, of course, it, too, was 'reel'.

The one thing I will say about NCIS -- it's another example of a show that relies heavily on it's lead character played by MH. If he would go, the show would be much less appealing. The spin-offs of NCIS boggle my mind. All I can say is -- someone with big bucks and power must be backing this show to keep the whole franchise afloat. Or, there's so many inferior shows that come and go and the simple brand recognition keeps it going. JAG was a much better show, but things went totally awry and the bad blood spoiled it. I miss it and I even miss the idea of it not coming back. I also wish something great would come along for DJE that would stick because he got cheated and his talent and appeal has been wasted after JAG.

[> JAG was the best. I watched NCIS until Ziva left. Not much to it after that. Hard to believe Coates in the new role. Harm and Mac were much more entertaining. -- FJN, 12:22:41 07/08/15 Wed

[> I was too angry at DPB to watch the show - and even though the show is fine - it never grabbed me the way JAG did - the characters just don't seem to have enough depth. -- chris k, 21:21:33 07/09/15 Thu
